New Tricks (UK)

This BBC television drama series follows the work of the Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad (UCOS). Led by Superintendent Sandra Pullman, it is made up of retired police officers who have been recruited to reinvestigate unsolved crimes.

Character Bio

Danny Griffin is mysterious but fiercely clever, he unnerves suspects with his left field interview techniques. Something of an oddball with an unorthodox manner - dark horse Dan soon becomes an invaluable member of UCOS, helping them to solve cases with his hyper vigilance, quick mind and unassuming presence.

At home, Dan has a close relationship with his teenage daughter; a bright and cheeky student with whom he likes to discuss his cases and who can often provide the useful sounding board he needs.
